Vanderbilt, other schools, flirt with Calhoun linebacker Cody Ralston

Competing schools haven’t given up on Calhoun linebacker Cody Ralston, who committed to Central Florida in February.

Vanderbilt and Purdue are just a few of the schools trying to change the mind of Ralston, who stands 6-foot-2 and 195 pounds. “I’m getting a lot of attention from [other schools], but I’m still strongly committed to Central Florida,” Ralston said.

    You may get a good education, but TV, you’re kidding right. I could not even tell you where Vandy is let alone what their mascot or stadium looks like. As for Purdue, if you want to finish no better than fourth in your conference every year, I guess it would be a good choice, as long as you like freezing your butt off.

    What?

    Just because Vandy is in the SEC, doesn’t exactly mean it is a big time program. UCF averaged more fans last season than Vandy with a losing season. This is pretty amazing considering they played, Florida, Tennessee and Auburn at home. It shows than Vandy doesn’t have much support. As far as education, Vandy is no slouch, but neithier is UCF. UCF is the 5th largest school in the country,

    UCF is also located in beautiful Orlando, FL. This is why I’m not even mentioning Purdue. Orlando > West Lafayette, Indiana. Nough said. Not to mention UCF’s facilities are second to none.

    While I would love for you to stay instate, UCF is a pretty legitimate school . Good Luck to wherever you end up Cody.
